Pete Doherty is reportedly trying to stop the broadcast of a
Channel 4 documentary which will feature the former Libertine smoking heroin. The documentary in question is the one made by filmmaker Max Carlish, the guy who sold screen shots from the film showing Doherty taking drugs to the Sunday Mirror earlier this year (a sale which led to the fracas between Doherty and
Carlish, which in turn led to Doherty spending five days in jail).
Doherty's grounds for stopping the documentary from being screened seem to be based on the allegation that Carlish was commissioned to make the film by the singer's management firm, and therefore the final product belongs to them and not Carlish. Channel 4, they argue, will violate their copyright should they show the programme. But Channel 4 have told reporters they remain optimistic that the film will still be shown next month.
Elsewhere in Doherty news, and more on the Babyshamble boy's attempts to turn girlfriend super model Kate Moss into a pop star. Word is Doherty hopes to have Moss singing at some of Babyshambles' upcoming festival dates - in particular Glastonbury and Homelands.
A source told someone: "Kate has got a good voice and is a frustrated rock chick. She sang with Pete and Primal Scream's
Bobby Gillespie at her 31st birthday party earlier this year.
But this will be the first time she will have performed in public."
